INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Improper installation can cause accelerated wear, resulting in catastrophic failure which may cause property damage and / or bodily injury. Manufacturer will assume no liability for loss or damage of any kind, expressed or implied, resulting from improper installation or use of this product. Read this installation manual in its entirety before attempting to install or operate the lift. 1. Remove plastic wrap from top Runway and remove all hardware.
5. Now unbolt the top Mainside Runway (#51) taking the necessary safety precautions to support runway, as it will need to be flipped over. Note: Using some type of hoist is recommended to carefully flip the Runway over, so it’s no longer upside down. 6. Locate the Mainside Runway in your bay with the Hydraulic Fitting (#86) facing toward your previously chosen corner for the Power Unit. 7.
10. If you have means for securely lifting the Crossbeam, lower it into the tops of the Columns. If not, the Columns will have to be placed horizontally, in order to install the Crossbeams into the Columns. Then, the entire end structure (two columns and crossbeam) will need to be stood up as one. Top Cap Cable mount hole 11. Unpack the Lock Ladders (Fig. 4) from the package and slide them into the precut slot on the Rub Blocks (#56) inside each column.
14. Stand up and arrange the two end structures (Columns & Crossbeams) so that the outside of the Crossbeam rail to the outside of the other Crossbeam rail ‘diagonal’ measurements are close. Compare the measurements from the left and the right until they are diagonally within 1/2”. Note: The ½” variance will help in mounting the Runways later. End Structures Column Crossbeam 15.
16. Begin cable routing installation to Column Top Caps by first ensuring the pre-installed steel Cables are properly routed around each Cable Sheave and are not in a bind. 17. Pull the slack for each Cable from the corner ends of the Mainside Runway and route the appropriate Cable(s) to each Column Top Caps, while ensuring that the Crossbeam’s Cable Pulley is between the Cable and the Lock Ladder as shown in Fig.6. This will allow the secondary Slack Cable Lock to function properly. See Fig.
19. Install Cable Guide Bolts (#21A) thru the side of the Crossbeam Latch Plates at each end, as illustrated in Fig.8 below. One Guide Bolt will be installed at end of both Crossbeams. Note: Cable Guide Bolts assists in keeping the Cables properly engaged to the Pulleys. Cable Guide Bolt Fig. 8 20. Install Lock Rods & Linkage components per the drawing Fig.9 below. Ensure to install Eye bolts (#69) to outside / middle of each Crossbeam, secure each Eye bolt with Hex Nut.
21. Mount Power Unit (Item # 62) to the Mainside Column with the attached mounting bracket using the hardware provided, shown in Figure # 10. Once mounted, fill the Power Unit reservoir tank with hydraulic fluid. 22. Install the 90 degree Hydraulic Fitting, Nuts & Washer (# 90, 91, 92 & 93) to the high pressure port on the Power Unit, shown in Figure 10. Connect the 115VAC electrical power to the Power Unit. 23.
26. After leveling is complete, tighten the Jam Nut on the Lock Ladder, underneath the Top Cap on each post. This will secure the Lock Ladder in position. 27. Raise lift off all locks until cables are supporting the lift. Adjust the Cable’s Nylon Lock Nut (#89) as shown in Fig 6, located on the top of each post until lift is level on crossbeams and runways. This will ensure the lift travels up and down level.
CASTER KIT ASSEMBLY / INSTALLATION 1. Raise the Lift two to four feet high. 2. Assemble Caster assemblies as shown below. (Also see Exploded View Details on Page 27) 3. Position each of the four Caster assemblies below the Crossbeam rails. 4. Install the four Pivot Pins (#106) and Hairpin Cotter Pins (#105) to secure Caster assembly to each crossbeam. 5. Lower the Lift confirming that the Caster assemblies engage the columns and all four Columns rise to clear the floor. 6. Now the lift can be moved.
FOUNDATION and ANCHORING REQUIREMENTS 1. Concrete shall have compression strength of at least 3,000 PSI and a minimum thickness of 4-1/4” in order to achieve a minimum anchor embedment of 3-1/4”. NOTE: When using the standard supplied 3/4” x 5-1/2” long anchors, if the top of the anchor exceeds 2-1/4” above the floor grade, you DO NOT have enough embedment. 2. Maintain a 6” minimum distance from any slab edge or seam. Hole to hole spacing should be a minimum 6-1/2” in any direction.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using your garage equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: Ø Read all instructions Ø Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
